Enter the Fray: A week of campaigning, tricks, and treats

Greetings PopWatchers – it’s time for the Halloweenedition of Enter the Fray. While my own week was dominated by watching theFightin’ Phils win the World Series and trying to plan my Halloweencostume(I’m going as the Industrial Revolution. It’s conceptual.), there were plenty ofpop culture treats (and tricks) for you to consume.

10. On the trick front, British comedian and MTV Video MusicAwards host Russell Brand played a phone prank that got him suspended from hisBBC radio show.

1. Finally, you had a lot to say about Elisabeth Hasselbeck’sstumping for Sarah Palin (pictured). The election is now only four days away – and in the name of civic duty, PopWatch encourages everyone to go into work late on Tuesday. After voting, that is. Not, like, sleeping in.
